Mammalian myosin I alpha, I beta, and I gamma: new widely expressed genes of the myosin I family. [PDF]
, 1993 A polymerase chain reaction strategy was devised to identify new members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-based motors. Using cellular RNA from mouse granular neurons and PC12 cells, we have cloned and sequenced three 1.2-kb polymerase chain ...

CARMIL family proteins as multidomain regulators of actin-based motility [PDF]
, 2017 CARMILs are large multidomain proteins that regulate the actin-binding activity of capping protein (CP), a major capper of actin filament barbed ends in cells.

Single cardiac ventricular myosins are autonomous motors [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Myosin transduces ATP free energy into mechanical work in muscle. Cardiac muscle has dynamically wide-ranging power demands on the motor as the muscle changes modes in a heartbeat from relaxation, via auxotonic shortening, to isometric contraction.

Unconventional Myosins from Caenorhabditis elegans as a Probe to Study Human Orthologues
Biomolecules, 2022 Unconventional myosins are a superfamily of actin-based motor proteins that perform a number of roles in fundamental cellular processes, including (but not limited to) intracellular trafficking, cell motility, endocytosis, exocytosis and cytokinesis.

Systematic analysis of Plasmodium myosins reveals differential expression, localisation, and function in invasive and proliferative parasite stages [PDF]
, 2019 The myosin superfamily comprises of actin‐dependent eukaryotic molecular motors important in a variety of cellular functions. Although well studied in many systems, knowledge of their functions in Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, is restricted.

Are the class 18 myosins Myo18A and Myo18B specialist sarcomeric proteins?
Frontiers in PhysiologyInitially, the two members of class 18 myosins, Myo18A and Myo18B, appeared to exhibit highly divergent functions, complicating the assignment of class-specific functions.

Identification and characterization of an unusual class I myosin involved in vesicle traffic in Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Myosins are a multimember family of motor proteins with diverse functions in eukaryotic cells. African trypanosomes possess only two candidate myosins and thus represent a useful system for functional analysis of these motors.

The ATPase cycle of PcrA helicase and its coupling to translocation on DNA. [PDF]
, 2009 The superfamily 1 bacterial helicase PcrA has a role in the replication of certain plasmids, acting with the initiator protein (RepD) that binds to and nicks the double-stranded origin of replication.

The Journal of General Physiology, 1967 There is fairly general agreement that myosin isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle has a molecular weight of about 500,000. The higher values that have been reported apparently reflect protein aggregation related to the method of preparation. On the basis of present evidence, the myosin molecule has an elongate helical core of two f subunits (average ...
